“Because I love you and I don’t want you to be afraid, I have gone ahead of you into everything bad that can and will happen to you. I have gotten there first. Look for me when you get there. I will have a cup, a cannula, communion, ready for you.”

“Our governor in Massachusetts, Deval Patrick, once told a story about his grandma. She said, “Don’t call people ‘the poor.’ Call people broke. Broke is temporary.” I try not to say “the poor” because it sounds like a sentence, like I’m putting people in a box, far away from those of us who can make ends meet. But someone who is broke, on the other hand, is a peer.”

“I’ve said it elsewhere, but I think it bears repeating: celebrate every win, no matter how small (example: “Breaking news: we sent 50 jars of peanut butter to the food pantry this week, and there are only 30 of us in worship! God is good!”). Preach using real-life examples of good discipleship and radical welcome amongst the people in your church, to build up their God-esteem and make them feel confident about their faith community and its potential.”
